Topaz DeNoise AI
Topaz DeNoise AI is an image processing plugin and standalone app from Topaz Labs that uses machine learning to reduce noise from photographs while preserving fine detail and texture. It is used by photographers, videographers and digital artists to clean up images shot in low light, at high ISO, or with challenging exposure conditions. The app integrates as a plugin into Photoshop, Lightroom and other image editors, and also runs as a standalone tool for batch processing. Topaz DeNoise AI supports RAW files, JPEG, PNG and other formats.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTopaz Labs has not yet shipped a native Apple Silicon build of DeNoise AI as of May 2026, despite the feature being requested by the community since the earliest M1 Macs arrived in 2020 — over five years ago. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs today. Because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should contact Topaz Labs directly to ask about their plans for a native build before that deadline. If native support is not forthcoming, begin researching alternative noise-reduction tools that already have confirmed native Apple Silicon builds, such as DXO PhotoLab or Adobe Camera Raw with its built-in noise reduction (Adobe ships native builds). The longer you wait, the more urgently you may need to switch workflows. Check the Topaz Labs support pages and community forum periodically for any announcement of native development.
